But the president is now facing one of the most difficult moments in Colombia's recent history, says the BBC's Americas Editor Leonardo Rocha.
If he sticks to his word about there being no plan B, the bilateral ceasefire will be lifted and the war will resume, our correspondent says.

Opposition to the peace accord was led by influential former President Alvaro Uribe. He argued that the government was treating Farc too leniently.

He said that if the 'no' vote prevailed, the government should go back to the negotiating table.
